Summerbonz on Saturday

I learned from the KPAC blog that Saturday at 5 pm at Johnson High School the SUMMERBONZ concert will take place! What is Summerbonz? Check out their web site at http://www.summerbonz.com/.

It is a trombone “bootcamp” that the web site says includes “daily warm-ups, master classes, and trombone choir rehearsals. It’s an opportunity to work on region music, region-jazz, and solos, get used to playing in front of other people in a relaxed, friendly, and supportive setting, and get advice on how to better your skills from WORLD CLASS TEACHERS.”

San Antonio Symphony bass trombonist Ilan Morgenstern is one of the teachers and the creator of Summerbonz. Lee Hipp, the Symphon’s tubist is also one of the teachers. So if there hasn’t been enough TROMBONE in your summer, check it out.
